About HeartSpace Clinic

Our Mission

HeartSpace Clinic is a non-profit organization offering compassionate, trauma-informed training, consultation and direct services. We are committed to helping our community members build resilience when affected by acute and cumulative stress and trauma. We work with individuals, families, schools, groups and organizations.

Our Vision

We envision a community where all adults and organizations are trauma and resilience informed and aware and able to appropriately respond to community members who have survived trauma.

Our History

The dream of HeartSpace Clinic began after Dr. Lawrence started training in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based treatment developed by Peter Levine.

At that time she was the only clinician in mid-Missouri practicing in this method of treatment. Her exposure to the use of the body in treating trauma opened up many other possibilities for helping - including the use of the Safe and Sound Protocol and HeartMath. Her idea was to grow a program that could offer these innovative services to many more people than she could serve alone. She has created an incredible treatment team of clinicians who are passionate about what these services can offer anyone who has suffered from trauma (and their pets).
